	>Greetings from Jim Dennis</H3>
<!-- begin greeting -->
<strong>I've been thinking about Linux.  And about those penguins.  
 Need a better mascot.  Cats.  Cats are cute.  Cats go everywhere.  
 Except Antarctica.  
 We're smarter than that.  But penguins - they <em>live</em> there. Hsss!
 Besides, penguins are birds.  Birds are snacks.  Cats have been on the 
 internet far longer.
 Everyone knows <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/current/">lynx</a> was one of 
 the first hunters here.  We already have three Linux disties anyway
(<a href="http://www.bluecat.com/">BlueCat</a>,
 <a href="http://www.blackcatlinux.com/">BlackCat</a>, and
 <a href="http://www.bluepoint.com.cn/">BluePoint</a>).
 Cats are the purrrrrfect mascot for the new Linux.
</strong>

<p>Hmm.  I had a pretty darn good blurb written up about cool new stuff in
2.4 (still in the pre phase right now) but when I came back to my chair after
getting coffee, my cat had taken over the chair and was sitting there, 
purring <em>innocently</em>.</p>

<p>As I lack the time to do it over (again!) here you go.  See you next 
month.</p>
